Khyout Jdor/The Threads of Roots/خيوط جذور is a workshop proposed by Teresa Lanceta and Zineb Achoubie at the invitation of Pedro G. Romero and framed within the exhibition popular.

Like tattooing, Berber weaving techniques are the result of old social phenomena. By borrowing these techniques, the participants of the workshop will work through weaving on telling this story from yesterday, still very present today.

It is from this heritage that the participants will create a fusion between the traditional and the modern guided by the artists, while trying to translate this into an artistic workshop, by using a mixed technique and including in particular traditional weaving with Bouchrwite.

The workshop is aimed at anyone interested, with an intergenerational and multicultural desire. It will take place in a fluid dialogue between Spanish, Berber, Arabic, French or English.
